    Gunsmithing FFL 07 quandary

    Re: FFL 07 quandary Its true. I actually came across this info on my own while waiting on my 07 paperwork. When I spoke to my ATF rep's, they hadn't heard of it before. They came back with it's true. This is what they told me when I asked what should I do. They said you could go for the...

    Who's running 7/08

    Re: Who's running 7/08 I had a bit of trouble working on a load for mine but eventually found a load that works all year long and is forgiving on the powder charge. Its slower than normal but consistent as hell. I have gone to 1000yds and back with plenty of range left in the scope. 150SMK...

    Re: Savage barrel swap/headspace question Clean everything as stated above first. Check to make sure the back of the lugs are clean, that the go-gauge is clean, etc. Check to bolt to make sure it is closed all the way on the go-gauge. When placing the barrel on, put hand tight against...

    Gunsmithing Cerakoting Upper/Lower AR >> Q's ??

    Re: Cerakoting Upper/Lower AR >> Q's ?? The couple complete AR's I've done I've lightly blasted them with AO 120 at around 60PSI. Any lower and my blast cabinet has problems picking up the media. Any more and it tends to take the anodizing off quickly. It also depends on the anodizing...

    Gunsmithing I Keep Foolin' With My Grizzly G4003G

    Re: I Keep Foolin' With My Grizzly G4003G All of these ideas should work better than the eyeball method. I'm not sure how far you really need to go since the bottom of the lathe castings, at least on my lathe, weren't anything special. I wasn't dealing with bed-rail quality there, you know...

    Gunsmithing I Keep Foolin' With My Grizzly G4003G

    Re: I Keep Foolin' With My Grizzly G4003G Nope, not at all. I did the same thing with my TurnPro 13x40. i couldn't put up with the stands any longer. Way too weak and light for a good lathe stand. Built mine from 2x3 steel and welded the hell out of it. Just used four feet made from 3/4...

    Gunsmithing Savage clones?

    Re: Savage clones? Where the big difference is with Savage is the action bolt locations and trigger. I don't know of any other that can use the Savage trigger or use the same action bolt template. The Bighorn action has Savage-like features but sits in a Remington stock and takes Remington...

    Gunsmithing GOOD wholesalers that dont require a storefront?

    Re: GOOD wholesalers that dont require a storefront? I typically go through Davidson's if I can. Most popular items are allocated but they communicate well and prices aren't too bad either. I can vouch for their warranty as well. I recently had a customer with a Glock and was my first...

    Range Report made it to 1000yds with 7mm-08

    Re: made it to 1000yds with 7mm-08 In case anyone wants to know, we were shooting near Robert Lee, Texas. This is right in the middle of where the wild fires were last year. If you look closely to the photo of us at the shooting line, there are a lot of overturned burned trees to the right...

    Range Report made it to 1000yds with 7mm-08

    I had an opportunity this weekend to go out with a work buddy and and see what my 7mm-08 could do at long range. So far I had only shot up to 375 yards. After getting our ranges corrected we tried at 500yds. Dialed in 11.5 MOA and shot away. Hit every time. I couldn't have more excited...

    Found parts of gun in dirt!

    Thought you guys might like this. Found these pieces (correction, wife found all of these pieces and I didn't help at all) while clearing a spot for a pool. I had just tilled up the area lightly to get rid of the weeds and to help level it out a little. While putting the forms up and leveling...

    Rifle Scopes S&B USMC Scope Details

    Re: S&B USMC Scope Details Do you mean 2d-barcode or QR code vs hologram? The spot below Premier Reticles. There could be a lot of info encoded in the 2D barcode vs just the serial number. It could house build date, builder, SN, specs, etc. Mike
